80s Action Movies! Who didn’t love watching a 1 man army take down some truly memorable villains? The 80s in particular were a very special time in action movie history that were absolutely filled with memorable quotes, plots and characters that live on in our memories to this day.
We’ve pilfered through several of the designs here on m00nshot and chosen our top 15 favorite 80s action movie t-shirts. Here we go...

2. Jack Burton's Trucking Co.
It’s all in the reflexes. Sure the Pork Chop Express was Jack’s truck, but this fictitious trucking company is definitely worth hiring when you need the job done right. Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, “Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.”

3. Be Nice
Inspired by the wisdom of Dalton, the best bouncer in the business. If you want to properly clean up a nightclub, you need to be nice, until it’s time to not be nice.

5. Harry Ellis - Master Negotiator
Here’s a Die Hard inspired design that really thought outside the box. We love it. Harry Ellis eats Euro Trash for breakfast. That’s why he was voted the 1988 negotiator of the year by the Nakatomi Corporation.

6. Remember, Sully
Sully should have taken John Matrix’s threats a bit more serious. Instead of living out the rest of the 80s driving Rae Dawn Chong around in that sweet yellow 911 Porsche, he became a permanent fixture of the landscape at the bottom of a canyon.

7. Cobra Kai Body Bags
Get him a body bag, yeeeeeah! This is by far one of our most favorite parody designs. Inspired by the fight scene between Daniel and Johnny when Bobby yells his classic line. Notice the body bag wrapped up in the cobra tail. It's that type of attention to detail that makes this design unlike any other Cobra Kai shirt on the planet.
